RE: [ST] for Jack - stripped rear axle

["Solomon, Jack S" <jack.s.solomon@xxxxxxxx>]

The dealer mechanic said he torqued the nut to specification, he even
wrote 110 Nm as the torque value.  Beware, after service there might be
a vibration that tightens axel bolts...


>>> 3. Could the dealer have over-torqued the rear axel nut during the
service? (I had the bike serviced on Thursday ($1000), and installed
the chain on Saturday) <<<

torque for the rear axle nut, I'd obviously look for a strong, young,
new tech working for the dealer.<

having applied the ST's 146nm [107.6 ft/lbs] to the RS's axle nut
which could well have caused the problem you're having to deal with...
